Switching from nonlinear beam focusing to defocusing in periodic structures

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

    Abstract

    We demonstrate experimentally the transition of nonlinear beam focusing to defocusing by varying the modulation depth of a periodic system. The observed effect illustrates the fundamental crossover when the periodic system changes properties to homogeneous.
